We kicked off the OBYA Tour with a great stop at Forbes Farms. The Forbes family background calves in a @WeCover_Steel barn, run cow-calf pairs & raise replacement heifers. They highlighted how building good relationships with people can set you up to work together for decades.

It was a pleasure to sit down with @BeefFarmersON to talk about the future of Ontario’s cattle industry. As a lifelong cattle farmer, I know firsthand the dedication and resilience it takes to succeed in this sector—and the pride that comes with seeing that hard work pay off.

Attended the World Food Forum at the FAO in Rome this past week with the Global Agenda for Sustainable Livestock -Youth Advisory Group. Still lots of opportunity to tell the great sustainability story Canadian Beef Farmers have and how we can play a part in Global Food Security.

With each passing day, the consequences of the strike at Cargill Guelph continue to mount for our feedlot sector, beef supply chain partners, and our farmers’ ability to cash flow their operations. Thank you @CanCattle and @NACattleFeeders for your support. https://t.co/hyyHm1z6h5

@Rae_Matt @SteveClarkPC Bill 97 is in NO way good for Ont Agriculture, if this bill passes with no amendments it will mark the beginning of the end of Ont farming as we currently enjoy. We don’t want lots to be severed our farms. Let’s protect the future instead of building houses on it. @BeefFarmersON
